Agenda

• Thought exercise: "What would be the technical "risks" of releasing 4.0 Production *now*"?
  • Or another way, "Where do we want to put next sprint's dev energy"?

Discussion

Assessment Plans

Performance

• Looking for more feedback
• Divided performance activities into categories
  • Grounded in real-world uses
• Need to factor out generalized tests
  • Example, many of the use cases do not have quantified details
• Need help with:
  • Mapping use cases into canonical operations
• Concern that the permutations may be hard to scope into the timeframe
• Need to define the nature of concurrency testing
• Add: bulk reindexing, bulk metadata retrieval
• Need to mention that bulk export is covered in the preservation area
• Could be useful to have federation in the performance testing mix
• Re-emphasize: goal to get results by end of October

Preservation worthiness

• Defined 5 ways of exporting content
• Need to make a statement regarding where Fedora sits in the preservation stack
• Fixity
  • Compare federation fixity versus modeshap-native fixity
  • Checkbox: could the user write a fixity checking app? - yes
  • Checkbox: ensure that a corrupted binary is detected? - yes
